Wayne Raymond Pretl

User Experience (UX) Designer

Hello.

Hello, I'm Wayne. I work as a user experience designer for a great digital agency in the rainy city of Manchester, UK. In the early days I started in graphic design, moving into interaction design and learning to code in HTML & CSS when the web first began. My specialist subject is UX (& some UI design).

My work is a combination of research, strategy, design and code, but ultimately it's about making the human - computer interaction, well, a little more human. I create work for some big brands, creating a happy experience for their customers from a service design and UX point of view.

During the day I might have my head buried in research, journeys, maps and wireframes, I could be getting my hands dirty with prototypes, design and code, or I could be busy with testing.

To get an overview of my process, have a look at some work while you're here, or read some of my thoughts.

I believe code and design can be equal creative persuits and I have a few side projects I'm working on in the evening, this helps me to improve my skills, keep my knowledge updated and do the things I don't get chance to do in work. Sometimes I like to break away from the digital world and do some photography & illustration observing life as it passes by, but this is purely for relaxation rather than a career goal.

Although we've just met, I'm a friendly Northern guy, and you can send me an email or call me if you want to chat or you'd like me to work on a project with you.
